Perhaps the ate a lots of roasted apes ?
Roughly seven million years ago, our ancestors split off from the apes.
Prove it.
Evolution Theory is treated more like a religion than religion is.
Hominins? Even the spell checker on my phone knows better.
All I know is that when they compare pre-argricultural human remains to humans after argriculture began the differences are startling.
Before agriculture, people were taller, they had no cavities or dental disease, bones were thicker. Once agriculture set in people got shorter, show lots of cavities and diseases, they see signs of arthritis and stuff in bones.
The best diet is high in saturated animal fats and protein, veggies and a little carb, little natural sugar in fruits.
This story attempts to conflate fire and cooking and the increase in the amylase gene and the increase in brain size. The article is fairly honest in including this:
“At some point hominins began to cook meat, but exactly when they invented fire is a question that inspires a lot of debate. Humans were definitely making fires by 300,000 years ago, but some researchers claim to have found campfires dating back as far as 1.8 million years.”
And this:
“They may be right, but it’s not a slam-dunk,” said Greg Wray, an evolutionary biologist at Duke University. “The timing is not well resolved enough.” There is still considerable uncertainty about when fire was invented and when amylase gene copies evolved, Dr. Wray noted.”
So, the entire article is pretty much BS.
The difference in dog and wolf amylase gene number, however, is key in determining when my dog’s ancestors diverged from wolves(even if she thinks she is one).
I just had a bowl of Cheerios; plan on lunch at a Mexican restaurant, then catch as catch can for supper. - I’m 69 & tired of talking about “diets”.
The brain brings many evolutionary advantages, but it also requires a lot of energy and, if memory still serves, the brain runs on sugar.
Evolution's rough outline seems to be: the more raw material, the bigger and better the potential build, resulting in the greater the advantage deciding the quick and the dead, who then pass those stories on to their children.
None of which explains "Joe Biden", of course, but there are always a few exceptions to the rules, even with those of evolution.
BEER (or more properly, ale, since it wasn’t hopped), aka. liquid bread, created modern man and civilization!
A number of years ago I decided that I would try a strictly vegetarian diet. It wasn’t long until I gave it up and went back to eating meat. The more meat/ protein I eat the better I feel. We are all different, you just need to discover what suits you best.
When it came time to be served lunch, she told the waiter not to bring her anything and then she pulled out of her insulated lunch bag, a small can of tuna (GMO free and dolphin safe I presume?), a hard-boiled egg (free range?), a few carrot sticks (organic?), a zip lock bag of type of nuts and a bottle of Fiji water.
Being in HR, I have to be careful of what I say, but I just couldn’t help myself.
When she started in on the GMO, gluten free and organic stuff and again with the Paleo, sort of now not just saying “this is how I eat”, but “this is how you should eat too”, I finally asked her, “If you were really following a true Paleo diet, wouldn’t that mean going to the stream in back of the hotel, catching a fish with a wooden spear or by hand and eating it raw instead of opening a can of tuna from Whole Foods, foraging for some wild bird eggs, eating some wild grasses and roots and drinking water right out of the stream instead of out of plastic bottle?
I said it while smiling and in a way that seemed I’m sure to her to be a friendly ribbing and she laughed, but after she left (and she left before dessert was served) an older woman sitting next to me leaned over and said, “Thank you for saying what you said to her”. We then had our double layer deep chocolate cake and some coffee. And we absolutely enjoyed it. ; )
